Thank you both! I've also been irritated by occasional write failure due
to conversion error, after pasting text to vim. A quick overwrite of the
offending characters in vim has always cured the problem. Yesterday it
was a weird minus sign. I see now that the file is latin1.
Presumably the old and new encodings sync after setting fileencoding=utf-8,
so I wouldn't still have two kinds of '-' ? (I have no idea how many
different minus signs and hyphens are included amongst utf-8 multibyte
characters.)
